On our '19 NL 8-11 the battery switch (when off) only disconnects the battery from the interior DC fuse/power panel (FWIW, DC power from the camper/truck 7-pin connector remains connected to the DC fuse panel even if the battery disconnect switch is off). The frig DC heating element, primary power to the jacks, and solar panel, are not connected to the interior DC fuse/power panel. They are connected directly to the batteries via dedicated resettable fuses, and are not affected by the battery disconnect switch.Spruce Dually wrote:To the jacks for most of the time, but an overall kill switch is a good idea as well for times of maintenance.
Photomike.
Which kill switch are you referring to.
Please excuse me I don't have a camper yet.
I think that you would want to be able to kill the power to the jacks and not everything else.
